Earning a reputation as the hardest working and most successful independent band on the tour, offers started to come from every direction. They were offered full endorsements from Washburn guitars and a complete custom kit from Truth Drums, but, more importantly, they were offered more tours including their first tour overseas. As support for Bowling for Soup in the UK, NHOI received a response that they could only dream of. By their third show the word was already out and there were magazines and press that followed the band to see what all the hype was about. NHOI sold a little over 3,000 CD's in just 11 shows and were labeled as the next big thing to hit the UK. They were then offered a main support slot on a 23 date tour with Spunge in February of '04 and followed up with two headlining UK tours in October '04 and Feb '05.
When they got back home, they took roughly eleven days to record, edit, master, etc. their then upcoming new release, "11 Days," that dropped on March 9, 2004. It is now available in countries including the UK, Germany, and Japan.
After finishing a headlining world tour in the spring of '05, playing in Japan, England, Scotland, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, NHOI returned home to California to work on their new album.
Their self-titled CD was released in early 2007.
Also in 2007, the band went on an unannounced and sudden hiatus near the middle of the year. Though the band has not officially broken up, they have not been together since then.

Satisfied
Never Heard of It Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mind so deep in thought
I hide from all the things I hate to be
And once again I was up all night
The light so bright came right into my eyes
Trying to fight to stay tightly closed
But now it's too late
And now it's too late
although you lied
I'm satisfied
Although you say
Things are better off this way
And though you know
Part of us has died
I can't complain
I can't complain
I'm satisfied
the end may justify the means
Reality may shatter dreams
I see a smile
Behind your tears
Stop running from your fears
Open your eyes open your ears
You'll change in the end
although you lied
I'm satisfied
Although you say
Things are better off this way
And though you know
Part of us has died
I can't complain
I can't complain
I'm satisfied
you were the one I loved before
You are the one I can't ignore
You were the one that said to me
All those things that you shouldn't have said to me
You are the one I've waited for
You are the one I can't ignore
You were the one that said to me
All those things that you shouldn't have said to me
although you lied
I'm satisfied
Although you say
Things are better off this way
And though you know
Part of us has died
I can't complain
I can't complain
I'm satisfied
The song "Satisfied" by Never Heard of It is about being content despite the hardships that come with a tumultuous romantic relationship. The first verse describes the singer's struggle with insomnia, indicating that they may be going through a difficult time. Despite this, they acknowledge that they are satisfied even though their partner has lied and said that things are better without them. The chorus repeats the phrase "although you lied, I'm satisfied," driving home the theme of being at peace with the situation despite the lies and heartache.
The bridge of the song reinforces this idea of finding contentment despite the challenges. The phrase "the end may justify the means, reality may shatter dreams" suggests that tough times may ultimately lead to a positive outcome. The final stanza of the song brings the subject of the relationship back to the forefront. The singer sings about their love for their partner, despite the hurtful words that have been said.
